Bentronics is now your local dealer for RT Systems programming software and cables for your 2-way radios.

I started off with a modest variety but will be ordering more models as time goes on. You guys need to buy a few for me to carry a few. (Insurance Commercial Joke). If I don't have the one you need in stock I can order direct from RT Systems.

It might seem funny that you will spend more on the cable and software than you did the radio. But RT Systems delivers a robust package and makes it easier to program your radio than by hand. Once you have RT Systems for different radios that you might have, it is easy to copy/paste frequencies back and forth.

Why Do I Need A GMRS License and How Do I Get It?

The FCC requires a GMRS license as a way to regulate frequencies that are used by two-way radio devices.

Back in stock. COMET GP-9 DUALBAND 2M/440MHZ BASE ANTENNA 16FT-9INCH 8.5/11.9DB

The GP-9 is the highest gain, dualband fixed station antenna available from COMET. If you desire the absolute maximum coverage area, this is the antenna to choose. The radiation pattern is directed to the horizon omni-directionally around the antenna. However, keep in mind that a high-gain antenna pattern has narrow elevation angle.
In mountainous areas the pattern may not reach valley floors or mountain tops. If you need to cover areas around the antenna that are a few thousand feet above or below the antenna elevation, the GP-6 may be a better choice due to the wider radiation angle of a lower gain antenna.
